ki ehtiyat dal ne bahut par kaha gaya
chhodi jo un ki rah to dar dar kaha gaya

saqi ne mere nam pe saghar patak diya
tishna-labi ko mera muqaddar kaha gaya

har chashm-e-iltifat ke husn-e-nigah ko
aaina-e-khulus ka jauhar kaha gaya

ehsas-e-husn-e-zarf se milti hai aabru
pani ki ek bund ko gauhar kaha gaya

ai subh ki kiran ye khayalat-e-zindagi
wo baat kaun thi jise ghar ghar kaha gaya

parwaziyon ki sharh nazar tak na kar saki
lekin khayal-e-tair-e-be-par kaha gaya

nairangiyon ki baat hai ai aariz-e-jamal
shoala dahak utha to gul-e-tar kaha gaya

'jumbish' sakun-nawaz-mizaji ko chhodiye
khamoshi-e-hayat ko akasr kaha gaya
